Cheeseman E-News - Thursday 16th September
Snow Update If your planning a trip to Cheeseman for current snow and weather conditions check our
Another 10 cms fell earlier this week with the weather clearing on Wednesday so freshies were the
order of the day for those lucky enough to escape the city. Further snow is forecast right through
until Saturday so there's still plenty of opportunity to get amongst it and make the most of the final 3
weeks of the season. There is still fantastic coverage on the upper mountain and this latest top up
of snow keeps the slopes in great conditions for more spring skiing and riding.
